What does the Exodus reveal about God?

Answer 1

Hello.

According to God's promise to Abraham, His due time had arrived for him to deliver the nation of Israel fom "the iron furnace" of Egypt. Jehovah God considered Israel as his firstborn son by virtue of the promise to Abraham.

As a nation, they were dear to God as a firstborn son, and He had the legal right to deliver them from Egypt without the payment of a price. Read De 4: 20; 14: 1, 2; Ex 4. 22; 19; 5,6.

What Exodus reveals about God is :The accomplishment of his promises, who he is, and what He reprents as a God called Jehovah, which means, "He causes to become" Read Isaiah 42: 8; 54: 5; Psalm 83: 18

God's great accomplishment that is yet to come is His Kingdom that Jesus told us to pray for in Matthew 6: 9,10 where His will , will be done on earth.

Danel 2: 44 Shows that God's Kingdom will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done. Read Revelation 19: 15, 17, 18.

God's purpose has always been that mankind live a happy life forever and His purpose has not changed. Read Genesis 2: 15-17 and Revelation 21: 3,4.

The Book of Revelation is closely related to the first Book of The Bible, Genesis.

Genesis tells us how paradise on earth was lost, and the last Book of the Bible Revelation, tells us how paradise on earth will be regained.

Kind regards

For one thing, it shows that Jehovah God can and will deliver His people when the time comes. He used Moses to lead His people out of Egypt (Exodus 3:7-10), and in the future during the battle of Armageddon He will use His heavenly army (led by Jesus Christ) to deliver the righteous once again. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9; Revelation 16:14 & 16)

We also learn that no man has seen God at any time (Exodus 33:20), showing that Jehovah and Jesus are not the same individual. Some argue that Jesus himself said that he was Jehovah (John 14:9; 10:30), but if you read the context of the scriptures using the surrounding verses (as well as later ones) you can see that Jesus is referencing to how he and Jehovah work together in union. In addition, Jehovah Himself declared from Heaven on more than one occasion that Jesus was His son. (Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 9:2-7)

Parts of the story of the Exodus reveal that no one could look at God. He appeared to them in a burning bush or a cloud or a pillar of fire. however, in Exodus chapter 24 Moses took seventy of the elders to see God (Exodus 24:10). In Exodus 33:20-23, Yahweh was still clearly anthropomorphic, but it was no longer possible to look at his face. The story of the Exodus is a combination of different earlier traditions.

God commanded Moses to build a lavish Ark of shittim wood, fine linen and cloth, leather, gold and gems - probably enough to bankrupt a prosperous nation, let alone a band of former slaves fleeing through the desert. The ark supported a 'mercy seat' of pure gold for Yahweh to ride on as the people travelled. If the ark ever really existed, then we know the nature of God - he was anthropomorphic (human-like) and sought luxury and pleasure on earth.

In the story of the plagues, God is revealed as callous and unforgiving. When the Pharaoh was willing to let the Israelites go, God hardened his heart so that further plagues were necessary, and more suffering would be felt by the Egyptians.

The modern God is omniscient, but not so the God of early times - in Exodus 12:23 the Hebrews put blood on their lintels so that he would know who they were.

The Exodus reveals God's faithfulness to His promises, His power to deliver His people from oppression, and His desire to establish a covenant relationship with His people. It also reveals God's compassion, justice, and sovereignty as He intervenes on behalf of the Israelites to bring about their liberation.
